Field Description
(Status) Lists two kinds of data: the LUN’s health and the state of the LUN’s disks.
The colored icon in the lower-left corner indicates the LUN’s health. In
most cases, there is also a number that represents the RAID type. The
possible RAID types are 0, 1, 5, or 10, and the number does not display if
the RAID type is different from those.
The following are examples of generic LUN status icons:
Normal. All disks are operating normally and online.
Transitioning. One or more disks are in a transitioning state. For example,
rebuilding or binding. RAID type is 1 in this case.
Faulted/Offline. One or mores disks is offline or faulted. RAID type is 10 in
this case.
Unknown. Status is not available.
Array A group of disks designated by the user to be managed by the RAID-5
technique.
